ICC to interrogate Kenya security chiefs
by Mary Daraja and Carol Gakii on 03 Nov 2010 | Comments
A team of investigators from the International Criminal Court - ICC will interrogate 10 security chiefs over the 2007/2008 post election violence.
The officers will receive summons by Tuesday next week and statement taking will start on November 24th.
The announcement was made Wednesday in Nairobi when the ICC team met Lady Justice Kalpana Rawal and officials from the State Law Commission.
Lady Justice Rawal confirmed that she has received questions from ICC that will guide the process of statement taking.
She has pledged to protect all those who will give evidence to the ICC.
She says she will ensure that none of the security and provincial chiefs giving evidence implicated themselves.
Most of the statement taking sessions will be done in-camera apart from instances where they will be done in public.
The ICC had indicated it was interested in questioning at least five Provincial Police chiefs and PC’s who were in office before and during the post election violence.
Mr Moreno-Ocampo plans to use the statements of the government officials to prepare his application for arrest warrants against six individuals he accuses of masterminding the violence.
